Carlton enters with an impressive record with wins over the likes of Zaco and Rick Stanley, his two losses come from Sean Morrison and Harry Milne. Dean however has not suffered a loss and has beat Milne along with Mac Fuller and Ricardo Fernandes, finishing all.

Stafford Alois 260lbs [3-1] vs Ernest Hord 201lbs [1-1]Alois comes in as the favoured fighter with his only loss against Foster in the TUF4 final. Hord will need to improve on his record if he is to progress past Alois.

Geoff Cahill 170lbs [1-1] vs Mac Fuller 185lbs [2-3]Cahill has a loss against Morrison and a win against Cohen, as does Fuller. Fuller also has a loss to Dean and most recently McCall. A Win here could push the fan favorite back in the right direction.

Perren Ventre 241lbs [1-3] vs Tony McCall 232lbs [1-0]Ventre has 4 impressive fights under his belt but three of them being losses does not look well for the formerly well thought of youngster. McCall will be a tough opponent for Ventre after an impressive win over Fuller on his last showing.

Elgar 199lbs [0-1] vs Francesco Marazzina 145lbs [1-0]Elgar did not live up to his hype with a quick loss to James Foster at TUF4. Marazzina beat fellow Italian Cascone and will look to add another victory over Elgar.

Yevgeni Sipatov 170lbs [1-1] vs Angelino Cascone 184lbs [0-1]Sipatov and Cascone have both fought boits that only ended in Decisions, fortunately that is Sipatovs plan as he will look to utilise his lay and pray tactics again.

Main Event
Zaco 185lbs [6-2] vs Sean Morrison 155lbs [6-0]
Winner advances to "The Ultimate Ultimate" FinaleZaco has impressed since joining UFA back at TUF3. His two losses come by way of Carlton and Milne, both via decision. His wins have all been over opponents that were not considered experienced but has spent alot of time inside the cage himself. Morrison however is undefeated in 6. Things may have been different if James Foster had not forfeited back at TUF1 but Morrison has won two tournaments in a row, the only man to do so. He has beaten big names such as Mac Fuller and has a win over Carlton. Morrison has not fought since TUF2 but has not stopped training so expect to see a Sprite showing.

Mantas Andreyev 205lbs [1-2] vs Rick Stanley 242lbs [2-1]Stanleys only loss comes via Jeff Carlton and has one victory by knockout. Andreyev arrived as a special with a big hype train to follow but after Fuller exposed him another loss followed. Back on winning ways he will aim to remain that way.

Monty Olivier 219lbs [0-0] vs Jim Carpenter 170lbs [1-2]Carpenter has lost to both Morrison and Foster bit managed to hold both to decisions. Olivier debuts and the Frenchman will look to utilise his street brawling style to land a knock out blow to Carpenter.

Troyes Bache 338lbs [1-1] vs Nigel Malley 185lbs [0-0]Malley debuts against the behemoth that is Bache. Bache has done ok so far with his only loss coming to Zaco, although his victory was not against a big name.

Elgar 199lbs [0-1] vs Francesco Marazzina 145lbs [1-0]Marazzina and Elgar kept this one close to begin but Elgars brutal leg kicks became the difference.

The final blow came from a vicious knee to the face resulting in Marazzina being knocked out.Elgar defeats Francesco Marazzina Knock Out Knee in 11:43 of round 1

Perren Ventre 241lbs [1-3] vs Tony McCall 232lbs [1-0]An amazing fight for McCall who lands a left, followed by a right hook.

Geoff Cahill 170lbs [1-1] vs Mac Fuller 185lbs [2-3]A great exchange between the two throughout the fight.

Stafford Alois 260lbs [3-1] vs Ernest Hord 201lbs [1-1]A dominant victory for Alois.

Alois did look to tire and may have known this so began to work the cut in hope of a stoppage.Stafford Alois defeats Ernest Hord TKO Cut in 6:31 of round 1

Main Event
Jeff Carlton 256lbs [6-2] vs Matthew Dean 185lbs [3-0]Carlton used his weight to takedown Dean, immediately laying on him. Smothering and taking away his energy.

From bottom of the guard Dean forced Carlton to tap out in a fight that he was in full control of.Matthew Dean defeats Jeff 'The Rock' Carlton Submission Armbar in 2:18 of round 1

Barnett congratulated Dean on a most impressive performance and confirmed to the crowd that Dean will take part in "The Ultimate Ultimate" Finale in September.

Barney Albritton 123lbs [0-0] vs Bogdan Chuchnova 185lbs [0-1]Albritton was the lighter opponent but this did not stop him taking Bogdan down.

Albritton locked in both hooks and applied the rear naked.Barney Albritton defeats Bogdan Chuchnova Submission Rear Naked Choke in 8:20 of round 1

Troyes Bache 338lbs [1-1] vs Nigel Malley 185lbs [0-0]Bache spent the bout at distance, teasing Malley in hope he would shoot. As Malley began to tire from attempting to take down the much much heavier fighter, Bache grabbed his opponent and slammed him to the mat and slipped into side control. Malley tried to sweep out but like Chuchnova he gave his back up and Bache used his weight to flatten him before locking in the rear naked choke.Troyes Bache defeats Nigel Malley Submission Rear Naked Choke in 7:59 of round 1

Monty Olivier 219lbs [0-0] vs Jim Carpenter 170lbs [1-2]The third debut of the night saw the third finish and third submission of the night.

Mario de Souza 185lbs [1-1] vs Ricardo Fernandes 170lbs [1-2]This bout went the distance as these two Brazilian warriors gave everything they had.

Mantas Andreyev 205lbs [1-2] vs Rick Stanley 242lbs [2-1]Andreyev had begun to show why he came to UFA with such hype following him. A huge suplex from Andreyev just before the ten minute mark allowed him to control Stanley on the ground and lock in an impressive submission and has now won two in a row.Mantas Andreyev defeats Rick Stanley Submission Rear Naked Choke in 7:37 of round 1

Main Event
Zaco 185lbs [6-2] vs Sean Morrison 155lbs [6-0]Unlike the first bout between Carlton and Dean, this went the distance. Both men seeming to have control for a good portion of the fight. Morrison looked a lot more technical than his Brazilian opponent and advanced by decision. He will need to improve if he is to defeat Dean, but can blame cage rust on the slow start.Sean Morrison defeats Zaco Unanimous Decision in 15:00 of round 1

Elijah Barnett called a conference to announce TUF9 - Morrison vs Dean. He said he cannot wait to be able to crown the winner "The Ultimate Ultimate" and that he promised the rest of the card will be just as good as the main event. He continued that the Co-Main Event would see both runners up compete as Carlton and Zaco will meet for the second time. Carlton defeated Zaco at The Ultimate Fighter 5 in the final of the tournament. Zaco went on to win at TUF6 and will be out to even the scores.

Today Elijah Barnett shed a little more light on the planned Ultimate Ultimate event scheduled for September. Along with Matthew Dean vs Sean Morrison, Zaco and Carlton will tangle which we already know. The card has not been released yet but when asked Barnett gave a list of names that we can expect to be involved; Bingwen Park will return after a loss to Zaco at TUF5 which left him with a broken jaw. We can also expect to the see the return of Dan Halvorsen. Mac Fuller will again enter the cage as will Barney Albritton after an impressive victory in his last outing.

UFA: THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER 9 MAJOR SET BACK

UFA have today confirmed that Matthew Dean has been injured, severely. True to Sean Morrison fashion an opponent has been injured before their fight. Morrison was due to face Dean at The Ultimate Fighter 9 in less than 4 weeks time. Barnett has confirmed that Dean has seen professionals and will most likely be out for atleast a year. Not wanting to delay The Ultimate Ultimate until then, Barnett has said that he will look at changing UFA9 back to a Tournament format with the winner facing Morrison as soon as possible to determine an "Ultimate Ultimate". There will be a brand new winner as none of the previous winners will enter, and to give the winner a little time to recover Zaco and Carlton will now headline UFA10 later in the year. Barnett stated that he does not want the company to lose any momentum after this huge loss so will do everything he can to thank the fans for the continued support. Expect a full card for The Ultimate Fighter 9 in the coming days.

First Round Bout
Harry Milne 236lbs [3-2] vs Stafford Alois 260lbs [4-1]Milne's two losses come via submission, a result unlikely to occur against kick boxer Alois who has finished three of his four wins via TKO. His only loss coming from Foster.

First Round Bout
Gunnar Nilsson 265lbs [2-1] vs Mario de Souza 185lbs [2-1]Nilsson will need to improve, despite having two wins as all three of his fights have been less than impressive. de Souza has performed well although all three of his fights have gone on longer than ten minutes, two of which ended in decision.

First Round Bout
Barney Albritton 123lbs [1-0] vs Mac Fuller 185lbs [3-3]Albritton impressed but will face a great opponent in Fuller. Fuller has been involved with five of the previous eight events with all six fights ending in a decison bar one.

First Round Bout
Tony McCall 232lbs [2-0] vs Kurt Stonge 243lbs [2-1]Stonge has an impressive record of two submissions in two, both coming from a rear naked choke hold.

Alternate Bout
Bingwen Park 179lbs [0-1] vs Nigel Malley 185lbs [0-1]Park was knocked out by Zaco on his debut which resulted in a broken jaw. Back to fighting fitness he will look to add a first win to his record when he takes on Malley who was heavily outweighed against Troyes Bache in his debut.

SIGMA opened its doors mid April and have held three shows up to now. All shows were held in France and have produced some amazing fighters and performances. SIGMA 3 took place early last month and today we will look back at the night.

The event held five bouts across four weight classes and two champions were crowned. Unlike UFA, SIGMA operate very strict weight divisions and have such rewarded their best fighters with Championship Belts as a posed to UFA's approach of pitting all different sized men against each other to determine the greatest fighter and discipline in the sport.

Faas Smit defeated Edgardo Gil within sixteen seconds via knock out to take home the SIGMA Light heavyweight Championship whilst Martyn Staskauskas defeated Camden Vessey via Guillotine in less than three minutes in the Main Event of the night to walk away with the SIGMA Middleweight Championship.

SIGMA have a fourth installment scheduled for mid October where there will be two more Champions crowned in The Welter and Heavyweight division.

First Round Bout
Harry Milne 236lbs [3-2] vs Stafford Alois 260lbs [4-1]Alois did well to defend Milne pushing him against the cage, but a failed take down gave Milne the advantage as he controlled Alois before successfully taking him down instead. Alois did well to defend Milne on his back, not allowing any transition to mount. In side control Milne peppered Alois with short body shots which saw him give up his back rather than being mounted. Milne landed right punch after right and the referee called for the end after Alois was unable to defend himself.Harry Milne defeats Stafford Alois TKO Strikes in 6:49 of round 1

First Round Bout
Gunnar Nilsson 265lbs [2-1] vs Mario de Souza 185lbs [2-1]In another poor showing by Nilsson, de Souza took the win.

First Round Bout
Tony McCall 232lbs [2-0] vs Kurt Stonge 243lbs [2-1]McCall was the dominant aggressor here as he controlled Stonge at a nice distance.

Semi Final Bout
Mac Fuller 185lbs [4-3] vs Tony McCall 232lbs [3-0]An absolute barn stormer in this fight. Fuller tired after just a couple of minutes and McCall following suit after around five. Both man equal to the next. McCall passed a quick medical check when his eye opened up after six minutes and the fight continued. Blow after blow, clinch after clinch. The eye was checked again with only five left on the clock. Both fighters emptied their tanks and spent the last four minutes in a ragged clinch, exchanging strikes.Tony McCall defeats Mac Fuller Unanimous Decision in 15:00 of round 1

Alternate Bout
Dan Halvorsen 170lbs [1-1] vs Ernie Bruns 192lbs [0-0]Halvorsen being the smaller fighter didn't cause too much of an issue. Once he had immediately took Bruns to the mat he tried to add a few punches, but Bruns didnt flinch. A quick transition allowed for him to land a couple of rights that hurt Bruns enough for Halvorsen to apply an armbar submisison.Dan Halvorsen defeats Ernie Bruns Submission Arm Triangle in 4:26 of round 1

Final Bout
Tony McCall 232lbs [4-0] vs Harry Milne 236lbs [5-2]Unbeaten McCall looked the favorite, but both had suffered cuts in their semi finals. McCall had Milne wobbled after less than a minute. As Milne fell, McCall kneels by his side and began to connect with strikes to the head. Milne remained calm and swept McCall out of position who ends up on his back. After a failed submission attempt Milne just began to pound away at McCall who had no answer. Experience had paid off as Milne dealt McCall his first loss.Harry Milne defeats McCall TKO Strikes in 4:44 of round 1

Elijah Barnett congratulated Milne on becoming the final Ultimate Fighter. He confirmed that he will now take on Morrison at "The Ultimate Ultimate" in place of injured Matthew Dean. He believes that Milne deserves the opportunity after already beating Zaco, Carlton and other highly skilled fighters.

Milne vs Morrison does not have a date set yet as Milne will need to see the medics post TUF9 and also attend a camp, so Barnett announced that Zaco vs Carlton will now headline TUF10 which will be held in December. He also said that this will be UFA's biggest card to date.

Elijah Barnett has today confirmed that TUF10- Zaco vs Carlton will take place late December. The night will be host to 10 bouts, which is the most held on one card for UFA. TUF10 will also offer a couple of debuts to new fighters whilst some greats will return.

Barnett also spoke of a special event series that is in the works. A series of events that will be held outside of America, obviously looking to capitalize on empty markets in foreign countries. Were unsure if this is too big of a risk to take but Barnett is convinced it will help the sport, and no doubt his finances.

Main Event
Zaco 185lbs [6-3] Vs Jeff Carlton 256lbs [6-3]Both have equal records, both have won The Ultimate Fighter and both lost their opportunities to become "The Ultimate Ultimate". Who will reign supreme in this match of the runner ups?

Adriano Occhino 274lbs [1-1] vs Elgar 199lbs [1-1]Occhino's both fights have ended in decision, Elgar however has lost via TKO to Foster whilst his only win comes via way of knock out.

Rob Baines 185lbs [1-1] vs Troyes Bache 338lbs [2-1]The much bigger Bache has a loss by way of Zaco and Baines via Carlton. These two have nothing to be ashamed of for those losses and will look to rebuild their win columns.

Porter Spradley 202lbs [0-0] vs Robert Adelman 235lbs [0-0]Pancration against Submission wrestling as both men debut on tonights huge card.

Knox Hird 202lbs [0-1] vs Yevgeni Sipatov 170lbs [2-1]Sipatov's three fights have all ended in decision so expect another grind out as he takes on Scotlands Hird who comes off a loss from Baines.

Jonah Funk 283lbs [0-0] vs Taras Levitsky 143lbs [0-0]Another match of debuts as Levitsky has double his weight to contend against. His Karate should be able to keep him at distance but he will not want to let Funk take him down.
